Hotels Near Adventist Youth Park of Costa de Lavos in Figueira da Foz

I booked a group sales event. It was challenging bc I had to pre-pay for 1/2 of rooms with cash via a bank transfer. They would not accept credit cards. I asked what would happen if we had less attendees than I’d counted on. They told me not to worry, that I’d receive any reimbursement upon check out. I was owed over 1700 euro. I was NOT paid upon check out. Then I was told that I had to wait for the accounting team to return from holiday. I was not paid then. Then I was told I had to wait until the end of the month. I was also told if I had paid with a card that they would have already done it, (but they wouldn’t allow me to use a card!) As of today, I have not been paid. They also said that I needed to receive my reimbursement in a Portuguese account, despite accepting payment out of an American account. Luckily, I had one. Unluckily, they refused to accept my account info from the internet. So they made me drive to Coimbra to get bank credentials. (Then had another excuse not to pay me.) There have been big wildfires and I drove through one, trying to get to the bank. It was terrifying. It has been 3 weeks. At this point, my emails are not answered and it looks like I will have to sue. The accommodations are fine, but I would strongly recommend against using them for a big group, based on my experience. Waiting for people to return from their holiday to get paid money that is owed?? What??! I waited 3 weeks to write this review, to give them the benefit of the doubt. I’m very disappointed. Maybe this is just the way that people do business in Portugal? I don’t know know but it isn’t good. Seems very unprofessional to me. I will never book a big group with them again, nor with any other Ibis affiliate, based on this experience.

Very beautiful hotel, with tastefully designed rooms and a helpfull staff. Very nice relaxation area with a bar. Breakfast buffet with a large variety of choices. Location is close to the beach, the restaurants and the harbour. We loved staying here and would love to come back.

Excellent location (across the road from the beach, good marina near by, plenty of restaurants walking distance). Very hospitable and friendly staff, quick and easy check in and out. Newly furbished rooms, very clean, ocean view balcony (I've had a free upgrade curtessy of hotel staff, as ocean view rooms were available). Great money value, affordable prices. Good breakfast. Good food at the restaurant, very good service. Good English spoken. Free Wi-Fi. Free parking available near-by. Rent-a-car facility walking distance. I stayed there twice, and will do again whenever I'm in the area.

Muito bem recebidos, tudo muito limpo, staff muito simpático, tudo com ótimo aspecto.

We stayed there for two nights. The bed was comfy and the shower was good. Yet, as a 4-star hotel, they didnt provide slippers and toothbrushes and toothpaste in the room...We checked in late and were exhausted, so didn’t want to ask for room service (we felt bad for not having small change for tips!) The white shower curtain was a bit gross (mouldy/ stained)...as well as their toilet seat (yellow stains underneath)

Good service, clean, comfortable bed and pillows Good environment, swimming pool, gym, reading room and other facilities are complete, breakfast is OK, the room is small.

Estadia em convívio de grupo por ocasião do carnaval. Instalações razoáveis e com bom descanso Refeições de pequeno almoço almoço e jantar agradáveis. Simpatia e bom tratamento. Voltarei sempre possível. O grupo gostou da estadia. Melhorar as instalações seria uma boa solução para mais satisfação.

A very modern hotel with many facilities. A little out of the way from town centre but set in a more rural/residential area. Exactly what we needed after the hustle and bustle of downtown Coimbra. Excellent breakfast and superb dinner. Very reasonable price for the type of hotel it turned out to be.
